give them random or nonsensical personality trait or opinion

ask yourself why

think about it too much

congratulations! they now have a tragic backstory

— ☆ —

"close your eyes. maybe it might make things a little easier."

"i'm sorry i don't know how to help." they sit next to you. "i'm here if you need anything."

love languages!! learning which ones you enjoy receiving and using them

always going out of their way to make you feel loved / wanted.

to be loved is to be seen

sending random pictures of things that remind them of you. bonus if it doesn't make any sense

little greetings. daily. first thing in the morning.

periodically checking in, especially when you least expect it.

helping you do chores when you're too tired

a collection of random ideas, some taken from other places. sorted into art, writing, and others (non-art/writing).

— ☆ —

art

draw a scene from their lore

redraw memes / trends

character lineup / height chart

crossovers with other fandoms you like

make icons / profile pictures of them

elegant one invites you over and formally greets you to a seat in their living room and a cup of tea, "please come in. meet my roommate," cuts to their roommate shoveling jam into their mouth from a jar with their bare hands while sitting on the kitchen floor "oh hi lmao"

[★] they wrapped their arms around you - you can't remember the last time someone hugged you like this.

[★] getting pulled aside while everyone else is yelling at you. they get you like none of the others do; they know not to yell.

[★] patiently listening to all of your problems. like actually listening.

[★] ^ with no judgement.

[★] they notice whenever something's wrong.

[★] letting you cry into their arms. telling you it's okay, everything is okay - and you know it's true because they're with you.

[★] letting you cry at all; realizing you don't have to hide your tears in front of them.

[★] "in a world where people don't care about me, i'm lucky to have you."

[★] ^ and then they're like "who hurt you" / "where are your __ i just want to talk" lmao

how would your character react if someone did these things? consider their personality and behavior, as well as who is doing it and why.

alternatively, ask game: send me a question + 2 characters

gave them a gift they didn't want

threw them a surprise party

asked them to perform in front of an audience, like right now, without prep

asked them to do something they're uncomfortable with, "oh, but you have to do it, for [loved one]!"

took them to a fancy restaurant

told them they're a bad friend / partner / ...

a set of random questions for your character. consider whether or not they would do something and why. go into as much (or as little) detail as you'd like.

would they touch dirt?

would they use social media? (+ which one(s)? what would they do?)

would they stab their best friend for large amounts of money?

would they give gifts at random, for no reason? (+ to whom?)

would they help someone they hate? (+ how? what kind of help?)

would they go travelling often? (+ how far?)

would they give their outfits little accessories? (+ or would they only dream of it without actually doing it?)

would they learn a new language?

would they throw out belongings that were once precious?

would they send hand-written letters? (+ to whom?)

— ☆ —

you may answer these questions for any number of characters, but ideally they should all be friends.

how did they become friends? did it happen over a lunch break, or did they need a life-or-death situation to even start bonding?

in what circumstance would they have not become friends?

what would their lives be like if they had never met?

what (or who) would break their friendship, if any?

what is something they do together, that people who aren't their friends just Don't Get?

do they ever have to compromise? in what situations? how much?

what do they all have in common, if anything?

have they ever had to be apart (physically or socially)?

if they are a friend group: how open, or clique-y, is it? (how do they treat people outside of the group? is "accepting new members" or "kicking people out" a thing for them?)

describe their dynamic with memes.

has any disagreement between them ever caused major conflict?

do they assign labels or "roles" to each other, consciously or not? (mom/dad/parent friend, baby of the group, quiet one, smart/dumb one...) if so, what are they? otherwise, why not?

do they live together? if not, would they?
